Breaking Point

Every day is starting to feel the same. I resent my mom, and she is every reason I do not want to stay. Get me away one night or one day. My life is not plain, all I do is train for the years she thinks I will end up being somebody's maid. She makes me feel ashamed sometimes and I hide in my room to cry and write the pain away. She believes she is doing everything right but she is really losing the game. My goal was to leave as soon as school set me free. But of course she had to keep me.

The day I leave will be the dandiest day I think will ever be. Currently she keeps trying to kick me out, but last month I was the only one she was about. I feel like the future I had with her is gone, I do not want her to be there when I succeed or when I make my own family tree. It is sad that I feel the way I do, but they always told me that honesty was key.

I do not want to stay locked up and sheltered from the world anymore, that was never who I was meant to be. One day I will prove her wrong and hopefully make my peace. I love her but usually she pushes every button to make my anger release. It is so frustrating when every comment weighs me down so much that I just want to scream.

I want a happy little life as cliche as it may be. But with my mother I am a bird inside a cage tied down with all of her restraint. My point is that I fear there is no way out. I fight my way through this life, I cook and I clean but in her mind I am a lost child with no self esteem. I am different from all the others, I am not an easy scholar. I am unique and soon I will reach my peak.

The love that I had for my mom is past a place that I never wanted it to be, and because of this I fear that it will never feel the same, and nothing will ever be regained. I never wanted this to happen but she set her own bed. Maybe when all of her children are gone she will realize all that she did wrong.

Until then I do not see a future relationship with this person that criticizes everything that I find interest in. All she has ever done was judge me and push me away. For your sake I hope that you change your ways one day.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
